Australia's leading newsletter and website for trustees and members of self-managed super funds

Our SMSF

The current state of our family’s super fund is structurally very sound. Most of our holdings have capital gain though the recent sell off has reduced the overall value, which looked pretty good before October.

We participated in the Rio buyback, following Paul Rickard’s analysis, which said it was a no brainer for SMSFs. It means we have to work out if we buy more Rio or position ourselves for companies that should do well in 2019 and beyond.

We will also participate in the BHP buyback so we will have some important investing decisions before Christmas.
